Situated in Boston's theater district, the unusual self-heating structure will open formally at the end of this month, when local temperatures typically hover at 20° or 30°F. Still, the designers of the ingenious heating system, Henry Eggert and Howard McKew of Shooshanian Engineering Associates of Boston, are confident that teeth will not chatter nor pipes freeze. Indeed, they insist, the eight-story, 880,000-sq.-ft., redbrick Transportation Building will stay a comfortable 72°F all year round...
...building has such thermal protection as especially thick walls, recessed windows (for shade) and double-pane glass. It has other features that improve its in-habitability, including a large enclosed atrium, overlooked by interior balconies, and space for restaurants and shops, a rarity in a state building. Says Eggert: "Usually in designing an energy-efficient building, the client is the major stumbling block. But we got the go-ahead to make the building as efficient as possible...
Before the first shovelful of earth was dug, Eggert and McKew subjected their design to various computer tests. For example, they tried to determine whether there would be enough heat in the building for it to survive a three-day winter week end. The system breezed through the trials, though innovation does come at a price...
